Customising output

[Sherlock Simon <Si...@pito.pnn.police.uk>]

Is it possible to stop <html:errors /> from picking up the default
errors.header and errors.footer?

We have a properties file with the following:
#Standard error header and footer
errors.footer=</ul><hr>
errors.header=<font color="red">Please correct the following error(s) before
proceeding:</font><ul>

#Errors page header and footer
errors.header.errorpage=<b>
errors.footer.errorpage=</b>

and for most errors the standard errors.header/footer are fine but for some
I want to use error.header.errorpage INSTEAD.  However, the following code
gives me both:

errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new
ActionError("errors.header.errorpage"));
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, error);
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new
ActionError("errors.footer.errorpage"));
request.setAttribute(org.apache.struts.Globals.ERROR_KEY, errors);

Is it possible to "turn off" or ignore the standard header/footer?

Thanks, Simon

The code:

new ActionError("errors.header.errorpage")

creates an error instance whose message is "<b>". Is that really what you wanted
or are you just using that to try and force a particular format?

If you want to use a different header and footer, try creating a separate
properties file, say ErrorPageMessages.properties, and include your alternate
header and footer using the standard keys:

errors.header=<b>
errors.footer=</b>

Then, in your Struts config file, include something like:

<message-resources key="MESSAGE_ERROR_PAGE"
                   parameter="ErrorPageMessages"/>

Finally, in your error page, use <html:errors> like:

<html:errors bundle="MESSAGE_ERROR_PAGE">

As an aside, if you're creating errors in your action, the standard practice is
to use Action.saveErrors(HttpServletRequest, ActionErrors) instead of explicity
setting a request attribute.
